An interview with:
Dr. Gaylene Pron
May 2005 |
|
Dr. Gaylene Pron discusses her two highly cited papers on uterine fibroid embolization (also called uterine artery embolization or UAE) and the status of treatment of uterine fibroids. A recent analysis of uterine fibroid research shows that Dr. Pron had the most-cited paper in this field over the past two years, with 20 citations to date (Pron G., et al., "The Ontario Uterine Fibroid Embolization Trial. Part 2. Uterine fibroid reduction and symptom relief after uterine artery embolization for fibroids."
Fertility and Sterility 79[1]:120-127, 2003). Dr. Pron is a clinical epidemiologist in the department of Public Health Sciences at the University of Toronto.

An interview with:
Dr.
Bruce McLucas
April 2005 |
|
A
recent analysis of the
ISI
Essential Science Indicators
Web product for the last 10 years shows that Dr.
Bruce McLucas ranks at #12 among the top 20 scientists
publishing on uterine fibroids, with 19 papers cited a
total of 392 times. Dr. McLucas is one of the first
physicians to use uterine artery embolization as a
treatment for uterine fibroids. Via catheterization of
the common femoral artery, the procedure inserts
microspheres to block blood flow from the uterine
arteries into the myometrium, the muscular layer of
the uterus from which uterine fibroids grow. He
discusses this procedure and his highly cited papers
in this field with Special Topics correspondent Myrna
Watanabe.
